The Chicago Blackhawks activated Patrick Kane from injured reserve Thursday and said the winger would return against the Buffalo Sabres at United Center. Puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.

Kane missed three games after leaving a 5–2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Nov. 2 with an upper-body injury. The Blackhawks had placed him on injured reserve retroactive to that date.

Kane, 37, has one goal and eight assists in 15 games this season. Chicago said his eight assists rank second on the team and his nine points rank third.
